I ended up just using the original Zombicide boxes to hold all of the game components. I consolidated everything into two of the boxes - one for all of the tiles from all of the expansions and one for everything else (besides the miniatures of course).<br /><br />I can still carry everything around in one trip so it works out fine for me.

The dimensions of the trays appear to be too small to hold tiles, much to my disappointment. I'd hoped to fit everything into the carrier, but the tiles prevent this option.<br />Any suggestions?Mark Lanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11888407477764243359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370385557047658097.post-48558865729379070172016-04-24T22:23:18.748-05:002016-04-24T22:23:18.748-05:00Hi there!

I don't know why their shipping is so ridiculous out of states. All I can suggest is that you contact them directly and ask if they can offer any less expensive means of shipping.

Pretty costly mishap. But the storage solution is amazing, if the right size. No sure how i missed that from the text of this post and the listing on the website. mindfadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654360363780631569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370385557047658097.post-43684409558912009592015-09-08T22:27:59.547-05:002015-09-08T22:27:59.547-05:00The jig and depth guide will definitely make all t...The jig and depth guide will definitely make all the difference. You can probably rig something up to avoid having to buy the depth guide, but you definitely need to make some sort of jig to get consistent (and fast) results. <br /><br />My dremmel is packed up and in storage in oreoaration for a move, but your dremmel seems fine. If you can't get the depth guide nor jig, you can try setting both the miniature and dremmel on the table and pushing the base onto the dremmel. I tried a few like that, but th e results weren't great (several drill-throughs) and it was about 20x slower than with jig\depth gague.

Thanks f...first thanks for the posts, awesome idea. Thanks for the reply, your suggestion seems to be the best for storage of zombicide and other minis. I bought a dremel 770 its seems there is a fast and a slow setting, per the instructions the slow is 6500 rpm. I also am holding the miniature in my hand. What dremel do you have and do you know what speed?<br /><br />My progress so far:<br />https://www.flickr.com/photos/83528935@N04/21249685532/in/dateposted-public/<br /><br />relooking through the post I dont have a jig or a depth guide, you think that might be the problem?mindfadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05654360363780631569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370385557047658097.post-42138061676673238192015-09-08T17:51:05.826-05:002015-09-08T17:51:05.826-05:00I just hang on tightly to the miniature.

The only thing I can think of is that I push it down rather quickly and firmly so the bit doesn't have a chance to wander. <br /><br />I was planning on making a counter-sunk slot for the base to exactly fit into and allow the hole to be perfectly centered each time, but just doing it by hand worked well enough for me so I didn't bother. <br /><br />Please post back if you continue to have trouble or if you figure it out - your experience could help someone else out.<br /><br />Thanks!Ryan Skowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005219749335015663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3370385557047658097.post-63398605942579213392015-09-08T17:35:17.944-05:002015-09-08T17:35:17.944-05:00I also have a dremel, i bought just for this.
